“In the context of manageability with chiropractic care, practice members often see improvements in their health while under chiropractic care, and through the chiropractic philosophical concepts of innate intelligence and salutogenesis, they begin to have a deeper understanding of their own bodies and true health. This enhances the practice members’ belief that they can manage their own health. This can empower them to make healthy choices like choosing to be under lifetime maintenance chiropractic care and other lifestyle modifications to enhance their well-being.” — Jen Santos, DC, DACCP

Wellness-focused chiropractic care helps people understand and trust their body’s ability to heal and stay well. By focusing on what creates health—not just what prevents illness—chiropractic empowers individuals to take an active role in their own long-term well-being.

“Chiropractors guide us to look at the most natural ways of living with an underlying respect for natural design and function. Some chiropractors may lead us to look deeper into our realm of thinking, how we parent, how we develop and sustain our relationships, and how we interact in society. Chiropractors are attentive to how we express ourselves as living, loving human beings, as these, too, are directly interrelated with our nerve system function.” — Jeanne Ohm, DC

“With this approach, the goal is to improve neurological function from the inside out, instead of temporarily manipulating symptoms from the outside in.

Chiropractic specifically seeks to reduce neurological interference from vertebral subluxation, a phenomenon commonly seen in children where abnormal motion of the spine is associated with impaired neurological function. While not a treatment for ADHD, correction of vertebral subluxation through chiropractic adjustments has been shown to result in improved nervous system function and improvement in ADHD symptoms.” — Steven Prentice, DC, CACCP

ADHD can be a sign that a child’s nervous system is struggling, and chiropractic care and targeted neurointegrative exercises can help improve neurological function from the inside out. This safe, holistic approach supports better focus, behavior, and overall nervous system health—without relying on medications.

“Conventional medicine is centered around the allopathic model of care. Recall that the root path indicates feeling (in words like empathy) or illness (seen in pathogen, among others). Allopathy responds to symptoms and illness with a drug or treatment. Via Merriam-Webster: ‘A system of medical practice that aims to combat disease by use of remedies (as drugs or surgery) producing effects different from or incompatible with those produced by the disease being treated.’

The science and practice of allopathy continues to be an irreplaceable facet of medicine. The development of treatments and general prevention for infectious diseases has saved countless lives and changed the landscape of public health dramatically over the past century.

However, the rise of chronic metabolic and stress-affected disorders is not as easily treated by drugs or procedures, as evidenced by the rise of these ailments. In response, individuals are increasingly seeking out alternative options.

The core of chiropractic care is the promotion of wellness. When an individual visits a chiropractor, she is likely to receive a holistic wellness strategy instead of a singular symptomatic treatment. Even the removal of vertebral subluxations seeks to free the body to be well before illness has a chance to settle in the body. This kind of whole-person care is consistent with salutogenesis, promoting health as a preemptive strategy.” – Eric L. Zielinski, DC

Chiropractic care doesn’t just treat symptoms—it empowers the body to function at its full potential, promoting wellness and preventing illness before it starts.

“Granted, taken alone and out of context, the means by which a woman gives birth doesn’t matter much in the big scheme of things. Having a C- section, an epidural, an unmedicated birth, or a forest birth in a pool of unicorn tears doesn’t define who you are as a mother.

But how you give birth does matter. More specifically, how you experience giving birth matters.

It matters how your doctor, midwife, or other caregiver treats you before, during, and after your birth.

It matters how much you educate yourself about the birth process and how knowledgeable you are about what’s happening with your body.

It matters how much you understand about your choices, how much support you have for those choices, and how empowered you feel to make those choices.

It matters how you feel about your childbirth experience throughout.”

Children are built to grow, heal, and adapt—but that process depends on clear communication between the brain and body. The nervous system is the body’s main communication highway, coordinating everything from immune function to emotional regulation and development.

When stress, tension or misalignments interfere with that communication, the body has to work harder just to maintain health. Chiropractic care helps restore balance to the nervous system so kids can function the way they’re meant to—strong, adaptable and thriving.

“Optimal fetal positioning is a wonderful skill to know, whether you are the pregnant mother, a doula, a nurse, midwife, or doctor! Knowing the ins and outs of fetal positioning may mean the difference in a vaginal or a cesarean birth. It may mean the difference between a 12-hour labor and a 48-hour labor. It may mean the difference between an extremely intense back labor or a labor that is more manageable.” – Amy Michaelson

Optimal fetal positioning is all about giving babies and mothers the best starting point for birth. Gentle chiropractic care can help align the pelvis and release tight ligaments, supporting the body’s natural ability to create space and allow the baby to move into a favorable position. When the pelvis can move freely and the body is balanced, labor can be more efficient and smooth.

In the early 1900s, birth began to shift from a natural experience taking place at home to a medical event managed by doctors. Much of this change was shaped by Joseph DeLee, a physician who argued that childbirth was a “pathological” process in need of intervention. This idea took hold, and within a few decades, nearly all births had moved into hospitals, with women positioned as patients rather than participants in a normal biological event. The problem is, these changes weren’t backed by better outcomes—maternal and infant mortality actually increased for years.

Over time, the narrative that birth is dangerous without medical intervention became deeply embedded in our culture. Reclaiming birth as a natural process means remembering that the body itself was never in need of fixing—it has always known how to give birth.

Webster-certified chiropractors honor the innate intelligence of birth by supporting the body’s natural ability to adapt and prepare throughout pregnancy. 

Through gentle, specific adjustments, perinatal chiropractic helps create balance in the pelvis and nervous system, allowing both mother and baby to experience greater ease throughout the process.
